Mental and emotional maturity are also necessary for safe riding. Does your youngster think through problems and come to logical solutions? On a bicycle, does your youngster obey safe riding rules? Be honest! Young people who take unnecessary risks, make bad judgments and don't obey rules are not ready to ride this ATV. If you decide that your youngster is ready to safely operate this ATV, make sure both of you first carefully read and understand the instructions and warnings in this Owner's Manual. Also be sure that your youngster always wears a helmet and other appropriate riding equipment when operating or sitting on the ATV. Patience and Practice Even if a youngster takes a certified training course, it's up to you to ensure your youngster's safety. Remember, learning to ride a ATV is a gradual step-by-step process. It takes time, patience and practice. To help you regulate your youngster's rate of learning, your ATV was delivered with an adjustable throttle limiter . We recommend that all beginning riders start off with the throttle limiter adjusted as delivered. The limiter may be adjusted to gradually increase maximum speed as the beginner becomes more familiar with operating the ATV. For adjustment and removal instructions, see pages 41.

Even after youngsters have become skilled off-road riders, make sure he/she always has adult supervision while riding. It also helps to regularly remind young riders to follow the instructions and warnings in this manual.

If you choose to lend your ATV, do make sure that any riders under 16 years old will have adult supervision. Your youngster should understand that the decision to lend the ATV is yours. In Summay Children differ in skills, physical abilities, and judgement. Some children may not be able to operate an ATV safely. Parents should supervise their child's use of the ATV at all times. Parents should permit continued use only if they determine that the child has the ability to operate the ATV safely. Safe and responsible riding must be an on-going commitment-by you and your youngster.
